We’ve just spent the week working with the 13 Irish companies at the Enterprise Ireland Stand at Microsoft’s World Partner Conference in LA. That’s not counting the 20 or so other Irish Software companies that also attended the event. It’s a big conference (about 15,000 attendees from around the world) and the quality of the people that we met was equally impressive. From an ‘Ireland Inc’ point of view, what struck me how many people that knew about our current economic situation, but also how many people knew about the shining star that is the Irish Software sector. Invariably, these conversations were followed by a question ‘how can we help?’.
On a more personal note, I wanted to capture my thoughts on what worked, what didn’t work for the companies while it’s still fresh in my mind;
With 13 companies travelling to be on the Enterprise Ireland Stand at Microsoft WorldWide Partner conference (and several more attending the event), it’s already time to start our planning for the Irish Software and Service Companies going to Oracle OpenWorld October 2nd to 6th.
Thanks to Oracle Ireland for their support of EI companies. Details of the exact format are still to be finalized but will be announced here on BestConnected. Can’t wait that long? Register your interest here (and yes, we’re keeping track of everybody that’s already notified us of their interest).
We’re working with three key multinationals as part of Enterprise Ireland ‘Best Connected’ software strategy around their main partner events. More details of your chance to register to be on the EI stand at the Microsoft World Partner Conference is below, quick links to register for any of the three events are;

Enterprise Ireland (EI), as part of it’s ‘Best Connected’ software strategy, is working with Irish Software & Service companies and key multinationals to increase exports and export led jobs.
We’re looking for expressions of interest in attending (and help shape EI’s involvement) at the following events.
Interested in coming along? Fill out this expression of interest, or fill out the form at the bottom of this email, or contact us directly at BestConnected@Enterprise-Ireland.com . We’re still working with the partner multinationals to get the best representation possible at the events . Your expression of interest will help shape the EI involvement, but doesn’t guarantee your place – we’ll let you know when the formal event invites come out. Like many business, Enterprise Ireland depends on feedback from client companies to tell it what it is getting right, and what it can do better. Which is why I’m delighted to get the following feedback from Kelly Murphy, CEO of Gridstore, on the EI supported work that Paul Solski carried out with his company.

Some of you probably already know Eric Ries module 1 facilitator of iGAP will be facilitating a free session in Café En Seine before the Irish Web Awards this Saturday at 6pm. This event is being sponsored by Arthur Cox as part of their support of iGAP and the Internet Growth Alliance. Eric is based in Silicon Valley and a guru in the whole lean start up space. Links to Eric’s LinkedIn Profile and Blog (Startup Lessons Learned).
All the iGAP 1 and iGAP 2 people have been invited to attend. If you are interested in going to this pre Irish Web Awards Meetup, you can register online. http://www.qukly.com/rz345v2/ The RDS has seen many big events over the years; Rugby Internationals, Horse Shows and even Bruce Springsteen concerts. But perhaps the biggest event, at least from the viewpoint of the Irish Economy, is happening next week; Enterprise Ireland’s International Markets week where (at the time of writing) 660 EI clients will meet my overseas colleagues all with aim of gaining more exports, and export led jobs. |
